The Board Room
Editors' Picks
May 28, 2:24 PM
As a Gen X'er (b-1967) I can relate to these charts. I've lost all the equity in my house and I just got laid off from a company that makes billions of dollars in profit annually. Although my 401k has recently recovered a bit I just learned it will be eaten away by fees (assuming I don't have to tap into it early). I look at baby boomers who are retiring now with good social security benefits, pension plans (government or company), no debt from schooling and wonder why they didn't pay it forward like their parents did. They were able to take advantage of the social contract put together by their parents, used it, then complained and destroyed it through actions such as de-funding pubic schools, breaking up unions, raising the retirement age and privatizing healthcare.

Rep Power:
One to 500 is the minimum we recommend rather than a set guideline for perfect power. In fact, the only negative user report was from Scott(Audeojude) who was using the 6 on a load that exceeded 3000 lbs...Hence his issue with the engine reaching it's rated hp. When he purchased that 6(from another dealer) it came with a higher pitched propeller. The "pig" propeller was not available for sale in the U.S.(except through us) so he ended up wasting a lot of effort trying to fix an engine that wasn't broken. At last report, he was satisfied, though not thrilled with the engine.
Personally I like the 6, if it is utilized for what it is intended. Boats up to 25' and under 3000 lbs. I like it even better when that load is under 2500 lbs as the closer you get to 3000 the more likely you are to be in a situation that a single cylinder 6 can't handle. People also tend to forget about the windage that a hull can have, which can also work against a small engine. So, I would tell you that you really should go with a two cylinder, 6-9.9, in any brand, as a first choice. A 6 Sail Pro will work for you, but there will be times where you will wish you had more.
The Johnson would be a bad choice due to it being a short shaft and 15 years old. In it's day it was a great engine, but anything over ten years old does not meet the requirement of dependable power. That crosses every brand and model line. Lot's of individual exceptions to that...But, that is the reason they are exceptions
Current engines I would look at would be the Yamaha 6/8 and the Tohatsu/Nissan/Mercury 8/9.8/9.9. I prefer the Tohatsu, but I am self serving

Did anyone notice yesterday...
that the coaches were putting Wand in on running plays and Washington or Spears (I can't remember which one) in on pass plays? I watched the game and listened to it on KILT, I was in and out of the house all day, the guys on KILT noticed it right away, near the end of the first quarter I think. They couldn't hardly believe it that our coaches were taking a chance on tipping off there defense so easily.
Watching the game didn'yt see them switching out very much, I don't recall TV guys on CBS saying anything about a change until Weigert got hurt and came out of game then they mentioned Spears coming into replace him
Watching the game didn't see them switching out very much, I don't recall TV guys on CBS saying anything about a change until Weigert got hurt and came out of game then they mentioned Spears coming into replace him
I didn't noitce it either until the radio guys said something about and I started paying attention and sure enough they were switching off on run and pass plays. They were both interviewed on FOX Sports Extra I think and they were both said "We were just doing what coach told us to do". In fact Wand said "I want to be in there for every play, all the time, but I gotta do what coach says."
I find this odd. Teams are going to pick up on this in no time. I am surprised the Bears didn't. Who knows, maybe they did and that is why our offense struggled for awhile in the second half. I mean those 2 were on and off of the field like every play was a change of possession. It was ridiculous after awhile. |
Im starting to think that Capers doesnt really care if he broadcasts his plays to the opponent.
The Steelers and Dolphins arent big on being tricky either. They just say "we are running it up the middle, try and stop me" The difference is that they have(or had) the personel to do that and be successful. we just end up getting slapped around sometimes. |
Guess what, if it's 3rd and 10, 3rd and 12, 4th and 12, etc., everyone in the world knows your going to pass, so why not bring in the better pass blocking tackle? or do you enjoy seeing Carr getting the #$E^&#% knocked out of him.
They were bringing in Spears on 1st and 10 when they would run a 1st down pass play. And I do believe we ran a draw on 3rd and long. I just don't think you understand the point. By the way IMO, bringing in Spears seemed to make our pass blocking worse. It seemed like 80% of the time Carr was pressured it was from the left side of the line and it forced him to roll to his right, so did it really help that much anyway? What did we get? We basically told the defense what we were going to run on offense, then the left side of the O line folds in 2 seconds. :bouncey: That really worked out well.
Maybe they won't do it anymore since they can see what Freeney did to Ogden this week. Freeney was even better than we all thought, so Wand is not as bad as he looked against the Colts.
I say let them play and tinker with the oline until they get it right. It can't get any worse. The offense did not have a bad game considering the weather and a fairly decent bear defense. I don't think this rotation hurt us this game. Now if it continues, then, teams will see the trend and it may not be effective down the road. Bottom line is, if Wand cannot improve his pass blocking, he needs to stay on the sideline. He does not appear to be very fast and this position is critical for us to get to the next level.
Did Capers discuss this on his radio show today? I get some bad reception at times down here and today all i got was static. I'm sure this topic must have come up.
I didn't catch the radio show, I just remember the radio announcers mentioning this in the first quarter. And they did have a piece on it last night on Fox Sports Extra.
On mondays at 5:00 pm, dom capers is on 610 am taking questions from the callers. He's on for about on hour i believe. Carr is on same station at 7:00 am on mondays.
All times are GMT -5. The time now is 08:50 PM. |

The DTCC/SWIFT/XBRL initiative will I am sure, be a success and be a springboard to a new age of data standards. However, there remains an important issue that needs attention and that is, to protect the identity of the issuer of the taxonomy and the security of the data they issue.
The obvious solution to the identity problem is to create a directory of the issuers of data and may be this should be held in a depository like the DTCC? It certainly should not be managed by a commercial organisation or a network like SWIFT. The reasons are that commercially it could become an expense issue and limit the potential usage and if it is by a network restrictive, accessible to only those on the network. Openness is the key to success but the villain of the piece when it comes down to security aspects.
May be the answer lies in the XBRL identity ownership being managed by a cooperative of utility organisations that have a vested interest in maintaining the security and uniqueness of the directory.
The unique business identity has been banded about for years without any realised solution. IdenTrust were one of the early purveyors of a solution to the identity risk problem but have achieved only modest penetration despite the sound logic and obvious rewards of their solution.
But with XBRL looking like a done deal solution it looks like the identity question will be finally answered.
The security around the data itself is also in the 'must find an answer for' tray and in Codel the new company backed by BT the solution may be in front of our eyes.
The now question has to be not what or where is the solution, but how does the industry tie it all together?
The key here, like all security issues, is for the recipient to have confidence that information regarding the corporate action event contained in the xbrl file has been published by the organization that claims to be the publisher and that the document is identical to the one that was published and has not been tampered with in any way between publication and receipt.
How can this be achieved? I think that what is necessary is a trusted third-party to act as a Certificate Authority (CA) that issues digital certificates to Issuers to encrypt the files and publishes the public key that enables the files to be read and authenticated.
In this scenario, all of the Issuers would have to register with the CA. Gary, if you read my comments on your previous blog you will see that I am suggesting that the likes of the DTCC and the FSA are the most likely candidates for holding a registry of all XBRL Issuers. I cannot see these organisations wanting to become CA's (although I have long held the belief that they should) so the answer maybe for an existing CA to issue a special root CA to DTCC or FSA or any other organisation that operates a Registry and these organizations can in turn use the same root certificate.
I don't think that there are many candidates for the registry operator role other than those that I have mentioned. The hardest part will be for them to agree on a common course of action.
One other problem arises. What happens to the XBRL file once it has been received. A file may contain hundreds of tagged items, the very nature of an xml file is that it is a text file and can be edited. How do you handle or authenticate that a piece of tagged data within an XBRL file has not been changed once it arrives inside your organization? I don't have the answer to that one.

I met Gus 10 years ago when I went to fulfil a childhood dream of learning to skydive, anyone who met him instantly had any fears allayed by the calm, joking and friendly way he spoke. I was shocked to read in a newspaper in London of the tragedy that has befallen someone so inspiring, and such a fine example of a human being. From shooting a sh!tty game of pool on my first night in DeLand to critiquing my first landing the following morning Gus always had a ready smile and a wisecrack. I look back with fondness to that time and would like to express my deepest condolances to Lydia and Gus' family and all @ Skyduve Deland. It really does go to show the GOOD really do die young. Take care Gus and see you again someday. Ian Walton |
DAMN IT HURTS TO WRITE ABOUT THIS. DUDE U WERE MY FIRST CAMERA MAN. THE FIRST MAN I WANT TO SEE WHEN I GO TO DELAND. I EXPECT TO SEE U. WHEN MY EXPECTATIONS ARE NOT MET, I FLIP. RIGHT NOW IM FOLDED, BROKEN, METAL PIPE MELTED. STILL NEW TO JUMPING. U TOLD ME "WAIT, ITS TO WINDY" I NEVER JUMP TO WINDY OR TO CLOUDY CUZ OF U. DAMN. HEART GOES OUT TO U AND FAMILY. BIG BABTIST BOY HERE, U KNOW MY PRAYERS WILL BE STRONG FOR U. MAN RIGHT NOW THINKING OF YOUR LUAGHTER. YO GUS. BECAUSE OF MY GREED I MISS YA. ONE LOVE MAN. U KNOW U WERE MY FIRST FRIEND I EVER MADE UP THERE IN DELAND. LOVE U MAN- LIFE ON EARTH GOES QUICKER THAN WE DROP- LIFE ABOVE THE CLOUDS AND RAINBOW... I DON'T KNOW NOT THERE YET BUT IM SURE WE WILL FLY MANY MORE TIMES BUDDY. ONE LOVE YOUR BOY -HENNY Harjenis the lovin menace |
Even though I didn't get the honor to meet Gus and have just a few dives, I know his legacy will endure in the sport and live on in the lives of everyone who knew him. Eternal BLUE SKIES Gus. Michael Minor |
Gus - a gentle man in every sense. Lydia - I love and admire you, your strength is an inspiration to me. Rosi Sigmon |
Just wanted to say that Gus and his family are in all our thoughts and prayers here in Texas. I never meet Gus but from what I've read he was a great person and skydiver. I'm sure Gus is still jumping but in a much better sky. Gabe |
In the way-back times, when "high-performance" canopies were relatively new some of us were standing around on the DZ deck - what there was of one then. Gus says, and I paraphrase - "these guys aren't finishing their flares. Look, they flare and get the canopy planed out and then give up. Just start running. They don't come close to getting their arms straight. You don't have to run. All you have to do is finish flaring." And he proceded to analyze most of the rest of the load, many of whom thought they were shit-hot, but hadn't gotten the flare right yet. So these days, as my toes are skimming the grass, I think about finishing my flare. Then there was a time, in the last couple years, when I pulled my Stilleto around a 180 with the front riser, planed it out, dragged a foot all the way thru the pea pit and finished my flare. I thought I had it right on. I went and dropped my stuff in the hangar and was all happy with myself. I walk in the restaurant and there's Gus giving me that crooked finger wag and sideways smile: paraphrasing again " You were pretty steep on that one." I had a furrowed brow, I'm sure. I questioned him back, he made his point then walked away. All quite friendly. Then Lydia walked by and patted me on the belly and said " We want you around for a long time:" That introduced some healthy self doubt in my flying that led me to ask more questions of people I respect, find the problem with the way I was swooping, and to keep analyzing my own flying. And recently, we'd been discussing wind tunnel design. I'm always happy to hear informed input, and Gus had his share, for sure. I was looking forward to flying with him in the tunnel. I wouldn't say that Gus was a good friend of mine, we didn't spend enough time together for that. But my skydiving and safety improved vastly due to maybe a combined 2 minutes with him. The DZ is a lesser place without him. Photo Caption: Myself flying over the Deland DZ quite a few years ago. I didn't realize Gus was framing this shot with the whole DZ in the background until I saw the print. One of my favorites. Big John |
Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who knew Gus, he was an amazing man. Love, |
I am a low timer from Vermont and have been to Deland about 10 times. Every single time I ended up talking to Gus. I never had him as in instructor or photographer but he always took time to talk to me about the sport and safe practices. He was very genuine, real, and honest. The most approachable person at the DZ. I hardly knew Gus but he is one of my most positive influences as a skydiver. I am so sorry for everyones loss. Thank you Gus for making a difference in my life. Mike Millstone D-27091 |
Over the last seven years, we (myself and wife) have shared many rides to altitude with you. And while we might have not communicated in abundance, your presence was always felt and appreciated. You will be missed. Matthias and Angelika |
Dear Lydia, I am so very sorry to hear of your loss!!!If you remember me, I worked at The Perfect Spot 2003-2004(I was pregnant at the time)...I always enjoyed listening to Gus talk about Photography and His Loving Wife he adored so very much***** He was the first person I met when I went Skydiving for the first time (before I worked there) and he did a beautiful tandem video that day for me, I will never forget him!! He was a Joy to be around and a Good Man!!! He will forever be up in "The Clouds of Heaven" watching over you and the ones he loved so much. With Sincerity & Love, |
In January Gus did a video he called "The Jean & Janet Show" of the two of us on our first skydive. Meeting Gus and the skydive are two memorable moments in our lives that we will never forget. He laughed and talked and kept our minds from worrying about what we were about to do. He made it an awesome experience for us. Thanks for the memories, Gus. |
I talked with Gus almost everyday from late '03 to early '04. He was usually the first face I saw when the day started, "Big day, big day", was the mantra. On slow days he was always in the store talking about wind tunnels, jump suits, cameras and skydiving history. I'll never forget the story about a french cameraman that was set to jump with 10 feet of cable hanging out of his suit. Blue skies Gus, you taught me so much and I never got the chance to thank you for it. Ben Wallace |
I will see you in the land of light, fair winds, and the company of all skydivers. You have left an indelible inspiration for youg and old alike. Ty Zellers BMCS (SEAL), USN, Ret, |
Two things I will always associate with Gus: The summer of 94 he, Gareth Evans and Vinca (?) came from the Ranch with Kim Emerson to visit me in Vermont. We all spent a hot and sunny day at Jamaica Falls, eating, drinking, reading, napping and swimming naked in the breathtakingly cold water in the mountains. We returned home to my house and a storm with 80 mph straight winds. It was time out of time. What I took away from that time with Gus was his love and appreciation for magnets and Pustefix bubbles - the 'best' brand. Connection and light. Sublime. Always thinking...He was a friend to Kim and I thank him for that. "What do you mean I'm not going to see him again?!" was the first thought that my mind grasped for when Kim came upstairs and told me, "Gus Wing is dead." The shock and grief on his face... I counted on seeing Gus again and having him enjoy our daughter Stella and to enjoy with him his love found with Lydia. I was so happy when I heard from Kim that Gus, too, had found someone to love and love him and that he blossomed in it. This community, and Gus particularly, has given us incredible life. Magnets and bubbles. I weep. Thank you. Katie Emerson-Hoss |
GUS WING...what a guy he was and still is !. He just had that laugh that will stay with me for ever and many others too. I first met Gus when I was camera man on the Red Devils in Deland around 1991 but really got to know him better later on, our paths crossed many times over the years, once in France when he was working with Patrick De Gar. We did a parachute display into the centre of Gap town, Gus landing perfectly on the centre of the cross. (But who would have expected anything else from Gus...!) Gus's sense of humour was second to none. He once watched me land on my face outside the hangar in Deland (me trying to be super cool). Gus said "Hey, there you go Dave, one minute you're a king and the next minute you're down in the dirt like a pauper" He walked off with that unforgettable laugh we all know. Gus also came and took some great photographs of people very special to me. Harry, my twin brother doing his AFF over Deland and my girlfriend, Lizzie (or Elizabeth as Gus always called her) on her first AFF jump. Not so long ago, Gus told me how much he loved Lydia and his exact words were "She's the most beautiful, graceful thing I have ever seen falling through the air" For Gus to say this one guy to another must mean that he truly loved her. Gus was, undoubtedly, "one of the nicest people on the planet". Our thoughts were with Gus and we gave a toast in his memory over the starlit sky of Australia. I can still hear him laugh now. Dave Mitchell |
I was very privileged to have Gus photograph my very first skydive in Deland. I was at the beginning of my AFF course with Jon Turner and Dave Mitchell and I will never forget Gus's positive attitude. I have him on my video after I'd landed saying "Elizabeth, you're a skydiver now, God bless you" and I did feel blessed. Later in the bar, Gus came over and told me I was a "vicious backslider". That made everyone laugh! Later on my course, one of my jumps didn't go so well and I was completely unstable, kicking and screaming, as you do. It scared me, but Gus gave me wise words. He told me the definition of an adventure. He said "its just a disaster that you look back on!" Its something that I have never forgotten and although I only met Gus a few times, he is one of those special people who inspire you and make a difference to your life. Gus will always be one of the good guys. Lizzie (Elizabeth - Gus always used my full name) Kay |
I met Gus only briefly while filming in Gap, France maybe 1993 - he was working with "GayHardon" - we shared a few drinks and he made me laugh almost all the time - can say I was a friend but my memories are warm - this is horrid news - please accept my deepest sympathy. Scott Dougall |
Gus was also quick witted. Ready with a comeback if needed. It was early Spring. 1991 or '92 or so and Gus had been to Daytona or Flagler beach getting some warmth and some sun. Serious sun. He was a tad red, that virgin sun bather red. After he got back to the DZ at the end of the jumping day, Gus came up to Gareth Evans and me standing by the packing hangar. (we had work that day after all. No luxury trip to the beach fopr us) Gareth took one look at Gus and said, with a sneer and some condesension, "Tourist!" To which Gus, without a pause, put his hands on his hips (just like in the picture on this site of him at SkyQuest) and cut back, "Tourist attraction!" Damn near leveld us right there. Gus laughed at himself with that one. And he made me laugh when he'd come running through 'tent city' yelling for me in the middle of the night to come out and play. We'd already closed the airport bar as it was. But he'd go plodding through the tents - entering the wrong one once - calling out, "Commie Yankee!" demanding I come out and keep pace. The bubbles. Huge, special blend bubbles. Ah, Gus, Gus, Gus... |
It has been brought to my attention that I mispelled my tribute to Gus.I asked what part? The person responded.." all of it! " Well, then perhaps they should look at my E-Mail Address.....hint hint... Again , still saddened by this horriable disaster..no matter how it's spelled. I love you Gus and Bill, Your friend,,,,forever, |
I had the privilege of diving with Gus as my camera man last year, and I can honestly say I have never met a better person that was more excited about his job and could not have made me feel any better about my first jump along with my two other friends. I have a video from him that now means more than anything to me and Gus narrates the whole thing and it's a comic show the whole time thanks to Gus. Anyway I know theres many people that know him a lot better then I and I had only met him for 1 dive and it still brings a tear to my eye to know he is gone. See you in heaven Gus Ryan coombs |
What a terrific guy. Lydia, all i can send now is a big imaginary hug i always enjoyed hanging out with Gus, at deland, at competitions, and all. i guess the next time we hang out will be in heaven. all my love! joe jennings |
I didn't know Gus personally but jumped with folks who knew him - just wanted to send my condolences and love to Lydia and her family peace Tom Ginsberg |
If you love Gus, please take a moment to reflect joyfully on what an extraordinary pain in the butt he could be. Well, maybe he mellowed with age, but somehow when I see this photo of him with his hands on his hips and his head cocked to one side just so, I can tell he is just about ready to tell the whole DZ how you went low, or backslid or opened too low and nearly killed yourself or any of a thousand other screw-ups. He never missed a thing. Gus and I started jumping around the same time back in 1979, at Buckingham Parachute Center in Orange County, Virginia. We did all of our "firsts" together. First 8-way, first night jump, first night 8-way, first 4-stack, 8-stack, night 4-stack and so on. We shared an apartment, and we met our wives at the DZ (his first, my second). And on many a beer soaked evening we were all forced to listen as Gus argued his point of view using some form logic that most reasonable life forms in this galaxy did not recognize or comprehend. But somehow he moved us. Most of those firsts at our little backwoods DZ would never have happened if Gus hadn't helped us believe in ourselves enough to try. Yes, you were a pain sometimes, but now that you're gone the pain has moved to my heart. I'll miss you, Gus, but I know you're still around somewhere. After all, it's another day, another opportunity in which to excel. Dan Gillespie |
... I've read this site so I've send some tears ....greetings from germany Andy Wich |
My deepest and most sincere thoughts to Gus' family, in particular to Lydia, and all my old friends at Skydive Deland, where I spent four amazing years of my life. I moved back to Italy over two years ago but Gus, I will never forget you and the time I spent in Deland. Thank you for everything I had the opportunity to learn from you. Gian Claudio |

Sveinbjörn Beinteinsson
Sveinbjörn Beinteinsson (July 4, 1924 – December 23, 1993),[1] a native of Iceland, was instrumental in helping to gain recognition by the Icelandic government for the pre-Christian Norse religion. The Ásatrúarfélagið ("Fellowship of Æsir faith"), which he founded in 1972, and for which he acted as goði (priest), was officially recognised as a religious body in 1973.
Sveinbjörn lived his entire life in West Iceland. From 1944 on, he was a sheep farmer while also pursuing literary interests on the side. He published a book of rímur in 1945, a textbook on the verse forms of rímur in 1953, two volumes of his own verse in 1957 and 1976, and edited several anthologies.
Sveinbjörn is regarded with much respect and affection amongst Ásatrú. Not only was he a well known rímur singer, or kvæðamaður, in Iceland, he also gained an audience and followers in Europe and North America. He sometimes performed at rock concerts and is the opening act in the film Rokk í Reykjavík, directed by Friðrik Þór Friðriksson. Sveinbjörn can be heard singing on the bootleg album "Ragnarok (A New Beginning)" by Burzum, on the last track of the album entitled "Havamal". Sveinbjörn can be heard performing Ásatrú marriage rites for Genesis and Paula P-Orridge (now Alaura O'Dell) on Psychic TV's LP Live in Reykjavik and on the double LP entitled Those who do not.
In 1982 Sveinbjörn released an album, Eddukvæði (Songs from The Poetic Edda), in which he recites in rímur style 75 stanzas from Hávamál, Völuspá and Sigrdrífumál. The album, on the Gramm label, included a booklet of the poems in Icelandic, with translations into English, Swedish, and German.
Additionally, former Psychic TV member David Tibet (né David Michael Bunting) released a CD of Sveinbjörn performing his own rímur and reciting the traditional Poetic Edda under the title Current 93 presents Sveinbjörn 'Edda' in two editions through the now defunct record company World Serpent Distribution.

Quarterly net income of $580 million was up 53 percent annually, and revenue, at $11.7 billion, was up 4 percent. Operating income at $962 million was up 50 percent.

OK. Been to The Ranch. It was fantastic. Every sort of steak imaginable. So tender you could cut them with the chips - sorry - fries. As for the 72 ounce ones. Not for us.
It hasn't rained in Amarillo or most of Texas for 3 months and they are on a serious drought warning. So what did we bring with us from England - the rain!!!!! It is pouring down.

Alice in Wonderland
26 comments:
I've been fascinated for years by images of Alice Liddell as a young woman. In so many of the images, she has a very defiant stance and a very direct gaze:
She has that same direct gaze in childhood. You can just hear her saying, "Tell me a story, and it had better be a good one."
I don't think I've ever found a version of Alice that satisfies me. It's sort of like Jane Eyre. You can cull bits and pieces from many versions.
I was thinking, looking at the released photos of Bonham Carter as the Red Queen...Clara Bow. IT Girl.I can't wait! I just rewatched the old cartoon version this winter, and I think Burton is the perfect person to do a new film version. Just that photo of Helena Bonham Carter says it all, and didn't Johnny Depp play the author a few years back? Just hope they don't get too creepy. I think my favorite part of the book was the Walrus reciting poetry. Might have to reread it this summer, if I can find a copy with the original drawings.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousJune 24, 2009 at 11:21 PM
The actress playing Alice was in the first season of "In Treatment" on HBO.
ReplyDelete I loved the illustratioins of the book when I was a kid too. Tom Petty's video kind of freaked me out when it came out... oh god? late 80s? yikes! But like everyone else, I am curious to see this new movie. I do like Tim Burton's work -- it's like a weird dream and you are not certain where you are...
Thank you for reading and commenting on Pigtown*Design. I read each and every comment and try to reply if I have your e-mail address.

"The Amphicar has 4 speeds plus reverse. The land speed is 75 mph maximum speed. Water speed is 12 mph. It has twin nylon propellors".
"The water tight doors with double locks and seals keep out the water In short, the Amphicar is the equivalent of a 14' steel hull boat, as a car it has a full rear seal and trunk space, with room for four"
"Where do we find an Anchorage dealer!". "Nick Rauch, who is the Alaskan Distributor of Amphicar."
The versatility of the boat-car appealed to us. With Amphicar we would drive in any lake or river along the Alaskan roads, reach the far side for wild life movies (Ivan's speciality), fishing. and bring back a carload of interesting rocks (Our hobby).
We slab and make bookends of any good Alaskan cutting rocks from fossils to jade. For 11 years I have been the program and tour chairman for the Anchorage rock-hound club. the "Chugach Gem & Mineral Society" - 470 members. I take them by helicopter, bush plane, swamp buggy all over Alaska. With Amphicar, this would be one more way to look up places for the club to go.With the melting snow at Easter, our plans turned to map hunting the lakes we could travel with boat-car. On April 20th we called RCA and left a message for Nick Rauch to bring us Amphicar brochures
Nick Rauch came into our store and talked about the performance of the Amphicar, Everything we heard sounded good. Then he gave us the clincher idea
"I have been selling Amphicars in Alaska for a year. I have had my Amphicar out in Cook Inlet. Seward Bay. and the fast Kenai River, as well as many lakes I know what it can do Now I want to take it down the Yukon River, the fifth largest water way in the world in capacity "
"How about two well-known Alaskan photographers going with me in your Amphicar? You could sell the movies to the German Amphicar Corporation and give lectures. This would be a "First' for us-the first car down the Yukon River.
These sentences from Nick fired our imagination!
"We'll go." "Deliver a red Amphicar (for color photography) and we'll draw up plans"Two weeks later a little red Amphicar drew up in front of our door.
On May 15th, the ice was off the lakes near Anchorage. We took our first Amphicar ride at Mirror Lake. As we drove in, the thought was in both our minds "this just doesn't seem right, driving a car into the lake." But the marine drive went in smoothly, the wheels carried us right over the muddy rocks into deep water.
Away we drove, stopping all traffic on both highway and lake. This was a fun situation, and we enjoyed it. Boat owners grabbed cameras and around and around us they went, shooting up film. The Amphicar performed smoothly just like Nick said it would.
From then on we make plans. Nick was taking his eleven year old son Phillip on his Amphicar for the Yukon trip, and Ivan and I were to go in ours. With a minimum of space, we carefully weighted each camera, camping outfit, so our cars would not be overloaded
We set the sailing date for June 15th. We would drive over the Glenn Highway, then down the Alaskan Highway to the junction of the Taylor Highway, up it to Eagle, put the Amphicars in the Yukon River. and come out at Circle, a distance of 165 miles. This would be a week off from our jobs - all we could manage.
First I had a rock club field trip to copper nugget country near the famous Kennicott Mine. Ivan and I and 6 rock hounds flew in and brought out fifty pounds of copper nuggets each, June 13th. Then we met the Rauch's, Nick, Ethel, Phil and Kathy, and Friend Erna Johnson at Atlasta House, Mile 166, Glenn Highway and headed north for our boat-car adventure. John and Marcy White of Atlasta House suggested a radio interview at KCAM at Glennallen; this is central Alaska's most powerful radio station We did and astounded the radio announcers with our proposed trip
Ethel. Kathy, and Erna led the way over the Taylor Highway to the launching spot - Eagle on the Yukon. These three were seeing us off, then driving back up the Alaskan Highway through Fairbanks to Circle (about 600 miles) to greet us at the end of our journey.
We stayed at South Fork Lodge the night of June 14th, located in historic Chicken Creek gold mining district
Kathy Rauch, 8 years old, was delighted by the hired lodge hand who turned puppet master to entertain her. He was good. During the long winter days of six hours daylight and 18 hours night, he is Chicken's most versatile inhabitant welcome at every home.
Another guest at South Fork lodge was Fred Buske "Chief Chugiak" of Chief Chugiak Jewelry Story, who was rock hunting. Fred has a gift shop near Anchorage and we have been friends for 16 years. Besides being mutual rock hounds, we have a bond in our unusual pets Fred had for several years a pet lion. We have a friendly reindeer.
Fred has been down the Yukon on a wooden raft. This is not a deluxe way to travel and he was reluctant to hear we were going to enter the mighty river with our 14' boat-car. He thought our trip would be as rough as the one he had. But we were determined to go through with this river adventure
We drove into Eagle at 4.30, June 15th. The Bierdermans own the Eagle Trading Post and when we told them about our boat-car trip, we got headshakes and stern sentences - "too many logs on river, icebergs cover sandbars, can't land. Too dangerous."
Nick and Ivan
asked the Bierdermans, old river pilots, if they would draw in the best route
through the river channels and sandbars on our maps. They did- and this was to
save many hours of navigating.
At 5 30 Nick took his Amphicar into the Yukon for a test run, while the entire population of Eagle-55-and our group watched. The Amphicar swayed from one side down the water's edge bank to the other as it entered the ten mile an hour current (We found our later that the mud ramps had a deep hole in it right under the water). Then the little white car swept forward towards the red serpentine bluffs. We could see Nick putting on speed to bring it around in a broad circle to head back upstream. For a while it seemed like no headway could be made against the torrent of rushing water, then Nick slowly came nearer. Everyone held their breath. The Amphicar became bigger and bigger, suddenly there it was on the ramp. All the men ran down to pull it up the muddy ground, but it needed no help. The car left the water and sped up the road. Nick had 55 crowded around him when he stepped out of the car. Now they were filled with enthusiasm over our trip down the river.
That night we had an elaborate farewell meal at Merley's lodge and a good night's rest in preparation for the rough journey ahead.
Mrs. Merley serves as Eagle postmistress, librarian, tax collector. city treasurers, customs agent, district recorder. weatherman, airlines communicator, and State Welfare Agent. She said she heard that we had made it all right on our trial run
At 7.30 AM on schedule, Nick and Ivan put theirAmphicars into the Yukon. I had entered the Biedermans long riverboat and was out in the middle of the Yukon River where I could take black and while photos, color slides, and movies of the historic departure, A mile downstream, the transfer of cameras and photogramer to Ivan's Amphicar was quickly made.
AL 8.30 we had gone seven miles-beautiful clear 85 degree weather and so s-m-o-o-t-h - driving down the river. Not much debris after Eagle. There were 500 feet striated bluffs alongside us.
At 9.50 we drove into Pickerel Slough, 15 miles from Eagle. The Biedermans had told us pike fishing was good here. We tried for two hours. but the water was too high from the spring runoff, and the fish wouldn't bite. At 12.00 a thunderstorm blew up; we pulled the cars into the mouth of a slough to get out of the waves created by wind. We had lunch while waiting out the thunderstorm. Phil busied himself making an overhead shelter of spruce and willow boughs in case we had to make an overnight camp. This 11 year old was cheerful and helpful the entire trip.
At 1.30 we took off down river, still raining-warm rain, but no wind.
Thirty miles from Eagle and we were passing Calico Bluffs - sedimentary, extremely folded layers of ochre, yellow, and brown, with layers of fossils. They were sheer cliffs of one thousand feet to two thousand feet. No place to land and the rapids were too fast to try for fossils.
Nation, 45 miles from Eagle, is a deserted Indian village. Here we had planned to camp the first night, but when we tried to make the shore, it was all soft mud and no sand. The mouth of the river was choked with drifting logs, and we could not pull in. We tried several sand bars-too swift a current and too many icebergs lining the shores. At last we sew a stiller channel by Logan Creek. Nick went first and got safely in. Then Ivan made his run. Just as we came out of the main channel, the current sweeping around the island we were making fur pushed us sideways, and we crashed against the Island. Rocking violently. Ivan said, "We're in trouble, kid" He put the car into drive, and we made a run for the opposite island, scraping bottom all the way
Nick and Phil pulled over from where they had been watching us in apprehension and we tied up to the over hanging trees for the first night.
The Yukon River had recently been over part of this island, it was damp. We were fortunate enough to be carrying (NRC 8 x 10) space blankets, instead of heavy tarps, so we spread these under the aspen and willow and put out camping equipment. These space blankets keep in 60% of the body heat and proved so successful on the Yukon trip that we would not be without them. The temperature dropped to a cool 40 degrees as soon as the sun went down. but our space blankets kept us warm, and we know they will be excellent when we go caribou hunting in September and pitch camp in the snow
The mosquitoes were bad, although none had bothered us on the river, a big fire helped keep them away. Blue bells, anemones, and roses were on the island. and the thrushes sang in the bushes, the beavers had been busy falling cottonwoods on the island shores. There were many moose tracks.
That first night we had rice and chopped beef for dinner. Because of limited space in the Amphicars, we were carrying dried food. Phil never complained about this diet, but once this night he reminded a wishfully of has mother's fried chicken. We told him dried food wasn't as tasteful as Ethel's dinners, but necessary for this trip From then on, he ate anything. Outside of a few timely remarks about the mosquitoes, Phil never protested the rough trip again. A very good eleven year old sportsman. that Phil Rauch.
We were in bed by 10 00 p,m It was still broad daylight; the setting sun this far north just touches the Yukon River in June and bounces back up. The hoot owls and the mosquitoes made sweet harmony as we fell asleep.
There was a low fog over the river when we woke in the morning, but it soon was gone in bright sunlight.
For breakfast both men flopped flapjacks high in the air. With dried scrambled eggs and canned bacon, we made a good meal and at 10 after looking at our maps, we left on the second lap of out journey.
It was tense wondering whether we could cut across the rapids at the island tip into the main channel. Ivan went first, putting his car into full speed ahead to make the big river. His rush worked and Nick and Phil were right behind him.
We saw two bull moose that second day, and a cow and calf. They stood placidly on the river banks and watched the little white car and the little red car go by as though this was an everyday occurrence.
Along the edge of the islands and the river. the trees were leaning back at a 45 degree angle, the icebergs had pushed them over when the spring breakup came.
All during the journey there were 5 to 8 foot boils in the river. They had a tendency to slue the cars around so that Ivan and Nick were kept busy steering every minute This left navigating and photography to me.
The channels and islands has changed since the year before. I would call to the boys to stay away from a charted sand bar that we couldn't see, but the chart said was there. Our route went through channels whose mouths were so choked wish debris that we would have to take another channel not recommended by the Biedermans because of choppy water, rocks, or narrowness. It was so hot we travelled with the tops down, but on choppy water we just put the tops up and the water went over the windshields I got good action movies on this,
The yellow swallow-tinted butterflies and dragonflies flew out from shore to visit us Yellow geums, purple fireweed, and white anemones made the bluffs colorful.
Many islands were completely covered by icebergs, just as we had been warned.
At 10:00 the second day, we were halfway to Circle 75 miles. I made deviled ham sandwiches and passed them across the water to Phil and Nick
At 3:30 we tied up at Coal Creek for our second night The icebergs were fifteen feet tall on the beach.
We located the mouth of the creek with binoculars. Ivan swept across the current into the quiet creek. Turning upstream he hit a submerged gravel bar and the Amphicar was grounded. We rocked the boat back and forth, put it into car drive, reversed it, and pulled off the bar.
Meanwhile, Nick was pouring on the gas to come into the creek He was lucky to come right into deep water. The two cars came to rest by the Icebergs
Coal Creek was once a thriving stop on the Yukon River for the sternwheelers. There is a road to Woodchopper Gold Mine and the gold dredge
The houses were in good shape. We moved our duffel into the Coal Creek Roadhouse to the big top floor where there was plenty of light The chairs were covered with sheephide- very sturdy. Freizes were in the fancy wrought iron stove.
There were soft mattresses and springs to spread our sleeping bags on - this was luxury. No mosquitoes in the roadhouse, but bad outside.
While we were fishing at Coal Creek, Nick said, "Look at the bull moose." It had walked down to the creek edge opposite us for a drink. A magnificent rack even this early in the year He stood there long enough for 'all of us to get a picture and then slowly turned and walked away.
Seventeen inch grayling were lumping in the creek, but none of us could hook one, so we had pork and beans and beef stew for dinner.
At 10:15 (still broad daylight), we went to bed. I woke up once and heard a heard rainstorm, at six a.m., it was very bright and no rain. At 7 am we had flipped our pancakes in the air for breakfastAt 9.0 o'clock both Ivan and Nick made an easy takeoff and we were on the last day of our journey to Circle.
The bluffs were beginning to narrow down to the Yukon Flats that start at Circle City, The flats are 200 miles long and 10-40 miles wide. Across from the last bluffs at 11am white water Rapids showed. We pointed them out to Nick, but he had seen them. We rolled up the top, and as we went through the waves I took movies. lvan handled the boat like a veteran.
Nick was speeding up all the third day-he was anxious to see the rest of his family, and he knew they would be worrying about him until they, saw him safe.
One o'clock-20 miles to Circle-and I made turkey and cheese sandwiches for lunch. A thunder and lightning storm blew up Coal Creek way. We finished lunch and put the tops up. We can sure get in out of the storm in a hurry.
If we did not have well-marked maps with the channels drawn in by Biederman's of Eagle, we would waste days searching for the right route. There are so many islands. channels, and gravel bars, it would be hard to guess which one to take.
At 4 15 we saw the first houses and people at Circle. I saw them first and waved to the other car. Tears came, to my eves - the first people for 165 miles. We turned on our car lights, hoping the people of Circle would see them through the low river fog. Later Ethel and Erna were to tell me that they were having coffee in the Yukon Trading Post when the Indian boys came running in to tell them they saw car lights one-half mile out on the Yukon (The river is that wide at Circle.) All the villagers of Circle ran down to the rivers edge to greet us. A boat with the owner of the Yukon Trading Post and an Indian came out to show us the right channel into Circle. They could see we were in difficulties There were so many hidden sandbars in front of Circle that we were constantly scraping boulders on our hull.
Ivan and Nick put then cars into car drive to get off the bars into the deep channel where the Circle guide boat was. We followed the boat back and saw the towns population waving to us. Ivan and Nick speeded up the cars and ran up the shore side by side Ivan hit soft sand and bogged down Ethel and Erna grabbed the front of Ivan's car and pulled him up the beach. Nick had hard gravel under the lyres. He poured on the gas and in a mighty surge, went out of the water, He jumped out. grabbed his lovely wife with a big Irish grin, gave her a hearty kiss, and hugged his daughter, Kathy. The Circle people gathered around and wished us well. Ivan and Nick opened their car hoods and showed off their engines that had performed so well.
Everyone was interested in the details of our three-day journey.
After half an hour of telling our story, we relaxed with hot showers in the deluxe Warren Motel, changed clothes, and went to the Yukon Trading Post for a civilized dinner. Running water and electric lights were a bit strange, but so enjoyable.
Mary Warren outdid herself on dinner-cheesed potatoes. shee fish, green tossed salad, homemade biscuits, fruit salad with whipped cream, corn tartar sauce, and was it any wonder I could not eat the huge slab of cheese-pear pie offered? Phil had the pie and ice cream on it! Where did he put it? That dried food on the journey was filling, but it didn't taste like this.
Dinner over, Ivan and I took a ride down the Steese Highway. After the smoothness of the Yukon River, the frost boils and ruts in the road seemed extra rough.
That night Ivan and I took pictures of the midnight sun sinking into the Yukon River, our watery home for three unforgetable days.
The Rauches and the Stewarts had successfully completed their "first", the First car down the Yukon, North America's fourth largest waterway and the fifth largest river in the world in capacity.
One impression after we reached home - we met our friend. Fred Buske "Chief Chugiak" and he told us how worried he had been. Seems Fred met some Fish and Wildlife men on the way back to Anchorage, and they had told him he should get the Air Rescue helicopters after those friends of his on the Yukon River, because it was impossible for them to make it safely to Circle. Fred was pretty worried until he reached Anchorage and learned we were safe.
All's well that ends well

Deborah Harper was the younger sister of government agent Helena Harper.
Deborah was born around 1992 and was four years younger than her sister, Helena. With their parents having died some time before she turned 20, she maintained a playful and spirited personality as she became a university student. She was very close to her older sister as a result of their parents' death, and Helena saved her from an abusive relationship when she inflicted serious injury on the man by shooting him. Unfortunately, it was this incident which led to Derek C. Simmons considering using Helena as a scapegoat for his plans.[1] Deborah and her sister were shown to be held by Simmons beneath the Tall Oaks Church laboratory. Helena tried her best to keep her terrified sister calm and reassure her. Under Simmons' command, men come to take Deborah away, leaving Helena to futilely beg and plead for them to let her go. Helena offered herself to Simmons in exchange for her sister. Her pleas did nothing as Deborah was dragged away to a then-unknown fate.
Helena has been known to be very protective of her sister, having shot an abusive ex-boyfriend of Deborah's and wounded him. It is likely due to her sister's protective nature that Deborah was kidnapped and used as a bargaining tool to get her sister to help Simmons. Despite Helena obeying Simmons in causing the death of the President, Deborah was ordered to be terminated. Instead, members of 'The Family' decided to intervene. Rather than kill her and dispose of the body, 'The Family' wanted to see what the C-Virus would do to her youthful healthy body. She was injected with the virus soon after and kept under observation. Despite high hopes and excitement regarding her mutation, Deborah's body showed no signs or visible effects. After an hour of waiting, 'The Family' had to abandon their plans and evacuate Tall Oaks before it was eradicated to quarantine the area. Disappointed, they left Deborah in the lower levels where Leon and Helena happened to find her.
After delving into the depths of the Tall Oaks Church, Leon and Helena found Deborah lying unconscious on a small wooden table. Deborah was awakened by her sister and they had a very brief reunion before Leon demanded to know what was going on. Helena promised to tell him everything once they got Deborah (who was already experiencing strange symptoms) out of there. Leon agreed and proceeded to fight his way through the underground caverns while Helena followed him, carrying a very sick and weak Deborah on her back. They eventually made it down to a lower level before being forced to stop as her condition worsened. Deborah became even more ill, holding her chest in pain, before suddenly bursting into flames as she screamed in agony. Leon was forced to hold Helena back as Deborah transformed before their eyes, a strange goo hardening over her like a shell. They watched in horror as the Chrysalid cocoon began to crack open and a slimy, mutated Deborah emerged.Before anything else could be done, Ada Wong shot the mutated Deborah in the head with her crossbow.[2] After a brief confrontation between the three, Helena went to her sister's side and held her in her arms, apologizing for what had happened, before Deborah began further mutating and violently pushed her away. This triggered a battle with the mutated Deborah Harper as Leon, Helena, and Ada fought to survive. Despite Helena's numerous pleas to not harm her sister, Ada reminded her that Deborah was trying to kill them and that she should put her down if she had any sympathy left for her. The three of them then attempted to escape the catacombs on a mine cart but Deborah pursued them and caused the cart to crash, leaving Helena trapped on a platform while her sister moved in to kill her. Leon and Ada acted quickly and ruptured Deborah's remaining appendage which momentarily stunned her, causing her to stagger blindly off the edge of a cliff just before Helena grabbed her hand. Helena promised she would avenge her sister, begging for forgiveness, and released Deborah to fall to her death.
After the incidents in Tall Oaks and Lanshiang, Helena was seen in a cemetery where she looked upon Deborah's grave, placing flowers on the grave, having avenged her sister's death by destroying Simmons.
The purpose of experimenting on Deborah was to test the C-Virus in conjunction with her body type. Certain members of 'The Family' were captivated by her shapely beauty and curious to see what effects the virus would have on a healthy young woman like herself. When hatched, the mutated Deborah is found naked though she has no notable new anatomy. Her skin has taken on a sickeningly pale green tone, considerably slimy at times. Long trails of veins are also very evident, most notably across her face where they are uncharacteristically red. Her speed and agility is above the average human level and, as acknowledged by Leon, she is exceptionally strong.
A primary and seemingly controllable mutation found in Deborah's new form are very large segmented and jointed appendages, resembling the legs of an arachnid, that spout in and out from her back. The newly-grown appendages are sharp enough to be easily capable of slashing and even impaling an unwary person. These appendages appear to be connected to Deborah's nervous system as damaging the glowing exposed growths on them can momentarily stun her.
Little is known about the cause of Deborah's behavior after her mutation, though it is apparent that the C-Virus has taken over her primal instincts leaving behind what little she had left of her humanity. In a file she wrote to her sister, Deborah apologizes and says that she loves her and hopes she finds someone to love while accounting that after being injected her memories of herself and Helena are fading away.
Before mutating, Deborah experienced searing pain as the C-Virus spread throughout her body. Spending her final moments suffering, she burst into flames screaming in agony. After emerging from the chrysalid, Deborah no longer appeared tormented, but instead developed feelings of ecstasy and delight in her new form; laughing maliciously as opposed to writhing in anguish. The only other behavior shown after mutation is an over-sexualized demeanor towards herself and others. These unique characteristics remain exclusive to her mutation, and is otherwise not known to be common traits among the other infected. It could be that Deborah was made to be a breeder for the C-Virus explaining her actions.

Holding An Old Leather Helmet
By: Kaitlin O'Donnell
I never stopped believing that my fathers rough and blistered hands could hold the weight of the world. Some things stick with us forever. In the early hours of the morning he quietly got his bagscareful not to wake usbut the sound of his footsteps leaving, no matter how soft, time and again awoke me from my dreams. When I opened my eyes, there he was to give me that hug that held so much. In that hug, the strength, the courage, the love he had for us, bigger than any fire, somehow whispered that he would be home tomorrow, forever.
I never spent much time worrying that my father wouldnt walk through our door the next morning; its not something we had control over. But we knew the importance of that hug goodbyesomething that made us sure to say, I love you before he left.
On September 11, 2001, too many families had only that last hug, the last I love you to hang on to.
Looking at the television screen, seeing only smoke and ash, we were silentsilent until the camera held its position on the fire trucks, deserted and alone, outside of what we will forever know to be Ground Zero. My brother said to me Katie, all those firefighters went inall of them. Everything inside of me twisted, it hurt. Though New York City is thousands of miles away from San Francisco where my dad was a firefighter, nothing ever hit as close to home as the image we saw. We used to beg my father to tell us stories about fires. Growing up, he was always our hero, and there was nothing we loved more than hearing about him and his crew running into burning buildings to save civilians. We knew he had many friends that got hurt on the job, and some tragically killed, but no one ever believes it will happen to their own loved one. We were proud to hear from his co-workers that our father was known for his courage. But at that moment I never felt so empty knowing the double-edged sword of courage. Those firefighters, like my own father does, ran into a building when everyone else was running out. After a second that felt like it went on forever, my brother and I looked at each other and we both knew that this day would stick with us, would stick with the world forever.
Never was it so apparent to the nation, as it was that day, that when a crew runs into a burning building they may never come out. The strength we saw in those firefighters was something most of society has not seen publicly, unless they were individually unlucky enough to be struck by a tragedy. Firefighters were no longer just simple blue-collar men; they became the symbol of a relentless nation that would build itself again.
There is something about the character of a firefighter that is incomparable to any other. Their camaraderie is everywhere they are. We saw this when the FDNY were at Ground Zero day after day, digging to keep their pact that they would never leave the site of a fire without their whole crew.
This camaraderie didnt begin on September eleventh, it has been present generation after generation. What makes firefighters like family isnt just the serious nature of the job, its the joking, the teasing and the laughter that comes with the love of being a brother. At the sound of an alarm they shift gears from being brothers and friends sitting around the dinner table, slapping backs and joking about politics, to firefighters ready to face whatever challenge is ahead of themtogether as one. Without asking questions, they rush to their respective rigs, lights and sirens, and theyre gone.
Now especially, society knows that these firefighters are among the most courageous, they are our heroes. However, these men are more than heroes. They are my family. My father, Dan ODonnell worked for the City of San Francisco, on Rescue Company No. 1, for thirty years. The names of his brothers were just as much a part of our lives as breathing. These were the men that my father went to work with, everyday for as long as I could rememberthe people that took funny pictures at firehouse parties, the men that drove the fire truck on the city streets with a big fat Santa sitting on top of Truck Company No. 1, these were the men that I knew with all my heart would not walk out of a building without my father by their side.
At my fathers recent retirement dinner, one of these men said that when he went into a fire with my father, he knew that either both of them would walk out together, or neither of them would. This is the kind of trust that distinguishes firefighters from anyone else, this is what makes them larger than life, and I am honored to love themthey who would do anything to bring their crew home, home to their families.
My father told me that after September 11th they were being treated differently at work by the citizens of San Francisco than ever before. They had gotten a routine call for a resuscitation at a restaurant downtown, they walked in and the entire restaurant stood and applauded. It was no surprise to hear when he told me the applause made him a bit uncomfortable. For years they had done the same job, for years they had run into burning buildings, not expecting praise, but now they were being treated like super-heroes.
I knew I wasnt going to be home for my fathers retirement day on January 31, 2002, so before I left to go back to college in Colorado after Christmas vacation, I went to his fire station to see him one last time in uniform. I held his dirty and twisted helmet just like I had done hundreds of times beforebut what I saw never had the effect it did at that moment. I noticed the strong burnt smell that lingered on the helmet, the dirtiness of it, the fading black and red Rescue 1SFFD. That is what it was all about. That helmet told more than anything or anyone ever could about the thirty years my father spent in the department. It was a reflection of how he gave all the strength he had to that jobmore than a job, a way of life. It was then I realized why the days leading to his retirement were so hard for him. He didnt want to let go. Most people count down the days until they can retire from the job they have done for thirty yearsnot firefighters. Its like moving away from your family, walking away from your homeyou want to turn back but you cant, so you walk on knowing a piece of you will forever stay there.
It isnt about the public applause or recognition, though it is appreciated, it isnt why firefighters do what they do. Though that recognition offered the New York Fire Department support at time when it was desperately needed, it is the character of these firefighters that allows them to forge on. It is this character that marks them heroes - it is those old, burnt and faded leather helmets that tell the truth of the job. When things go wrong in the world, when things go wrong in the Department, they come back for each other because they are brothers and wear their helmets with pride and dignity.Living the dream...
I am looking at my grandfathers old leather, my fathers old leather on the wall...
DAMN proud to be a third generation leather head!

"The education of a firefighter and the continued education of a firefighter is what makes "real" firefighters. Continuous skill development is the core of progressive firefighting. We learn by doing and doing it again and again, both on the training ground and the fireground."

It was touching to read from the perspective of a FF's daughter about the esteem that she holds not just for her father, but for firefighters all over. I thank Tailboard for sharing this piece,
with all the negativity that sometimes permeates our lives in this
job, it is good to read about appreciation of our lives.
Captain Gonzo- I second it!"I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a fireman. The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we know the work which a fireman has to do believe that his is a noble calling."

That is what every one of us hopes that our families feel and it brings a tear to your eyes knowing that even when they dont say anything that chances are that is how they feel. Thank you
Just my 2 cents.
You have to love this line of work.
Thank you for such a touching story.
It just helps to cement the picture of my wife and two daughters
deeper into my thoughts.
Hate to see this so far down. It is a very touching essay.
Thanks for sharing
